How to Set Up A Fly Reel | Attaching Backing, Fly Line, Leader & Tying Knots

[@JCS_72]

It's nice to hear someone is actually FOR loops on both ends of the fly line. Great content as usual!

[@Tridentflyfishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@Phuskooz]

Not me holding the backing with my toes because I have no friends

[@AmongstTheCovers]

Same bro

[@jawnmorrison110]

Literally most of us 😂

[@loafdad]

Yep me too

[@sethx2980]

Same here 😁

[@gregkosinski2303]

Maybe for the best. His friend is kind of scary.

[@therealcow541]

i like how its straight to the point no rambling about your friend and how youve seen it done or tried it for 15 years slow talking.... blah blah blah just right to it.

[@4492573]

I have seen many people on KZbin doing the same set up. But your one of the first I actually seen doing it correctly. A big mistake allot of people make when the put the backing and fly line on, they take it off the top of the spool. It’s should always be bottom to bottom. Good job brother. The line always gets spooled on from the bottom of the reel so it needs to come off the bottom of the spool. Believe it or not. 4” crane wire have the same principle. 👍🏻

Great video. No rambling about useless junk, just straight knowledge

[@davidmckinlay555]

[@colemclaren4474]

[@davesheppard8909]

Fantastic video, me and my teenage son went through it step by step and was so well explained. Looking forward to getting out this weekend to start our fly fishing adventure. Many Thanks!

[@robertandersson331]

Realy good instructions,Thank you.

[@darylrobertson5489]

This was a superb video for myself. I learned new knots and most importantly lining a new reel. Thank you 👍🏼

[@jasonmullins6638]

Nice explanation...especially the part where reeling fly line from bottom of spool onto the bottom of the reel to prevent tangling. Thanks!

[@fdannybrown]

Easy peasy. Thanks for the walk through. Saved me some money doing this myself.

[@squaretops1]

Great video i learned alot here very well explained

[@Allyourbase1990]

This was exactly what I needed .

[@powerlongman-423]

We develop needle roller clutch, which widely used in fly reels.

[@lancerudy9934]

Great video thanks 😊

[@ivango2010]

Great for someone who doesn't know. Thank you.

[@erickjarquin2355]

Hello Ben so what is the purpose of a Tippet ?? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom

[@ronpurcell9984]

A little late to the party but exactly what I was looking for. Cool

[@ralphdetloff8300]

Thanks for sharing. It was very well explained.

[@knifejail]

Hi I love your instruction. I am a complete beginner. Is there a video/ instructions about how long should I setup these Leader line and tippets line?

[@bungkokoAdi]

Thanks for the tutorials 🤝

[@darinmason6999]

Excellent, thank you!

[@johnathanoneal6463]

Okay after your leader is it okay to put a dry fly on, or do I have to attach a tippet as well?

[@patrickhelmuth3111]

You can put a fly straight on your leader, tippet is simply used to extend your leader as it gets shorter over time

[@Cmdr_Bean]

Thank you for the video! Well done

[@brandonmontemayor8178]

Damn. I was hoping to get some insight but i don’t have a friend to use.

[@KillaConJaro]

Thanks for the solo friendless version

[@GetRocStar]

I’m just getting into fly fishing. Will the “backend” line hold up if I hook into a big fish??

[@PatrickBlackdale]

The 'backing' will hold up as long as your connection to your fly line is solid and you are using the appropriate strength backing for the type of fishing you're doing.

[@Dogsled1000]

Is there any sight out there that doesn't have pre-looped lines?? Ty my fly line to my leader with actual knot and and leader to the tippet??

[@Peytonjames1]

Like he said don’t use that

[@gdude7397]

Which reels are shown in this video?

[@squaretops1]

Would you ever do a video on how to setup a spey rod for Salmon?

[@majewskimusic]

Thanks Ben, ;-)

[@edsun-ge4dy]

do we need sinker in fly fishing ???anyone please explain

[@PatrickBlackdale]

For subsurface fishing like nymphing or streamers, you can use weights/split shot.

[@kangaroozy0839]

Please blink

[@Hcarter-vc3vt]

I’m dead 💀

[@Deltanumb1]

What is the other line called that doesn’t float I have seen people use …. I don’t know anything about fly fishing I’m new

[@ournewseason]

No friends here, So...I asked my wife to help me. Now I can't go fishing because my back is out. Thanks Trident! PS...I really need a more comfortable couch.

[@Mackieadventurestv]

Blessings bro and thanks alot

[@johncampbell5594]

The sneak diss at the beginning lmao

[@ToddSloanIAAN]

Wouldn't you think it's important to tell someone to run them braided line through the front of the fly reel if it's a Pflueger medalist type?

[@FrankieFrankerson-nq3xg]

No friend I use a book for added drag etc ...

[@MarioSaidWhat]

I love you.

[@jackelpers5720]

Do you need fly line and a leader

[@boboz780]

Why don't we have backing and fly line all in one?

[@gregkosinski2303]

For one, the manufacturer doesn’t know what size reel you’re going to put this on. But also your expensive fly line is fully sealed. Why penetrate that coating with some cheap ass Dacron backing?

[@lastcoyote2355]

Cut the loops and learn to tie the proper knots ….. if you’re in that much of a hurry to fish …… Go Back To Bait Fishing !!!!!

[@Ohawn]

Please blink .. its spooking me

[@toadamine]

My brother got me Sage a fly rod kit for Christmas... I messed up putting the line on the reel, knotted it all up, and had to cut the line off the reel... went down to the shop the rod was bought at and they said $100-$120 for new line and for them to spool it correctly on the reel... I started laughing and walked out... said I don't wanna try fishing that bad if fishing line is $100+ a pop... pretty sure I offended them but the feeling is mutual... 😂 Anyone wanna buy a brand new,never used, Sage fishing rod kit, minus the line? If the line was $100, it must be an expensive kit! Haha

[@Phuskooz]

Just give it back to your brother

[@toadamine]

@@Phuskooz I found another store that wasn't trying to scam people. Calm down... 😆

[@ryanwilson5936]

⁠@@toadamine It’s a shop. The we’re trying to sell you the most expensive fly line they had. $120 is high-end fly line. You can get fishing with $40 line just fine. Yeah, fly line is expensive but you don’t need the most expensive spool in the shop. For what it’s worth, I work in a fairly large family owned outdoor store and almost nobody buys the super expensive stuff. Having said that, as a retail associate, the employee probably seen that you had a Sage and made some incorrect assumptions about your budget. No matter the customer, my first question is always “do you have a budget you’d like to stay under?”. It sets the pace for the rest of the sale. I’m glad to hear that you got set up for a decent price somewhere else!

[@mariozsoltvidos8384]

Im intrested

[@fesket3174]

Horrible tutorial, cuts during the knot tying

[@davescheer5038]

The thumb nail photo shows the fly line not being on a plastic spool , my Cortland fly line didn’t have the plastic spool if you put it on a stick through the middle it jams up , 🫲🏼😳🫱🏼

[@PatrickBlackdale]

If you don't have a spindle that fits through the fly line spool, you can simply leave the spool on the floor while you wind the line onto your reel. It's not the most ideal situation but I've done it hundreds of times and it works in a pinch. The fly line spool just spins and dances around the floor as you wind.
